Hangar51 welcomes start ups from around the world to join their industry-leading programme. Around ten successful companies will be embedded in the heart of the business in order to develop and test their products with the chance to make it big on a global scale.

The programme really goes beyond the traditional accelerator companies and offers disruptive companies ten weeks of working alongside IAG. There, they will receive personalised mentoring and access to a vast network of contacts within the industry as well as experts across the Group.

Those involved will also showcase their achievements at a Demo Day before an audience comprised of all the Group’s senior management team and investors. This will then give them the opportunity to receive potential investment from IAGs multimillion pound digital fund to be able to scale their business.
